Adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) are MSCs derived from adipose tissue, which is more accessible and less painful than stem cells extracted from most other sources. Autologous stem cells are those derived from a patient’s own cells while allogeneic stem cells are derived from that of a donor. Lipoaspiration, also known as liposuction, is a possible method for extraction. This is followed by purification and expansion of the cells in vitro.
These AMSCs are multipotent, with the capability of forming different tissues, some of which include bone, muscle, neural, and chondrocyte. This explains why AMSCs have been utilized in repairing craniofacial bone defects. They also have potential in treatment of scarred vocal folds.
